Figure 2From: Comparison of diffusion tensor imaging by cardiovascular magnetic resonance and gadolinium enhanced 3D image intensity approaches to investigation of structural anisotropy in explanted rat hearts Definitions of the myocyte and sheet angles with respect to the standard cardiac planes. A – definitions of the three standard cardiac planes. B – definitions of the myocyte angles. C – definitions of the sheet angles. D - definitions of the sheet normal angles. LA: long-axis; SA: short-axis; T: tangent. The symbols for vectors and derived angles are defined in Table 2.Back to article page
